I'm gonna call it OCD, but in a friendly way. I'm OCD about my fingernails being short. My father was OCD about his socks wearing out at an even rate. I'm not pointing fingers. Cheers!
I've been searching for a lost vape for about five days. Our place isn't even that big and it's pretty clean because my partner won't stand for the sort of sloppiness that I get up to when no one polices me. And the vape is a hell of a lot larger.
Paperclip, bent staple, pushpin, breadboard wire, toothpick, 3D printer nozzle cleaner, 0000-sized cross head screwdriver, and stripped twist tie are all no match for the glorious sim tool.
Hah, that's why I bought a little treasure chest that I have on my desk. I keep magic stuff there like usb keys, a lighter, these things (whatever they are called? Sim card pins?), anything that is small and infrequently used.
I have one on my keychain, which is sometimes a huge pain in the thigh, the hand or the fabric of the jeans, but it's worth it, because I use it like, every six months.
What an uninspired way to approach life. You encounter something that doesn't match your specific experience and, instead of wondering how it could be true, your only reaction is to deny it altogether. Be a bit more curious.
Agree totally. There's no point in holding on to a special-purpose object that can have its function performed by other very common objects. The smart thing to do is throw it away immediately after the phone's return window ends.
How is it responsible to waste your life taking steps to keep track of worthless little objects of that size? If you need a thin poker use one of the many every day objects that takes the form of or includes a thin poker.
Tossing in a drawer, definitely not. But keeping it in a place where you know where it is, will remember it, and it is definitely retrievable is different. Good luck finding that thing in a random drawer you are sure it's in, much less a random drawer you are only kind of sure it's in. Or if your life is such that each spot occupied in each drawer regardless of size and time of deposit is accounted for and retrievable, maybe that is just the standard I'm missing here.
What I'm saying is: I definitely have one or more of those in drawers or closets or boxes somewhere. Where, I do not know, and I could not retrieve one on command. But I could retrieve an implement to do its job. That the two things wind up being the same thing is an infinitesimal chance at best.
It's in the electronics box buried under a PS3, two 18 year old laptops, a graphics card that was obsolete 12 years ago, a hard drive I salvaged from an old DVR, and the bags and bags of Ethernet/coax/mini-USB/Sansa MP3 player cables, and the steam link
